WebORB for Java v. 4.1 is Released and Ready for Download!

This new release has the following new features and improvements:

Google App Engine integration â WebORB for Java can be deployed as a part of your web application into GAE. The feature includes all of the remoting capabilities for all supported client types (Flex, Flash, Silverlight, JavaScript, native Java and .NET). You can also use the management console for the instances of WebORB running in the Google cloud. Additionally, we introduced new WebORB for Cloud pricing specifically for the cloud-based deployments.

Android integration (native Java and AIR) â The integration between AIR (on Android) and WebORB for Java is fairly straight-forward and has been available ever since Adobe created the AIR package for Android. However, starting with the version 4.1, we added support and APIs for the native Java Android apps. Java apps running on Android can benefit from the remoting and messaging capabilities of WebORB. This includes remote method invocation from Android to all supported service types: POJOs, Spring beans, EJBs, Hibernate models, SOAP Web Services and Grails controllers. The messaging support provides the publish/subscribe API and integration with the WebORB Messaging server. This functionality enables cross-device messaging (homogeneous and heterogeneous OSs), server to client data push, integration with MQ and JMS systems.

Windows Phone 7 integration â We are very excited to introduce support for WP7, because WebORB is the only the only integration server on the market enabling WP7 to Java connectivity! Currently the supported feature set includes remote method invocation, but we are adding support for data messaging (which includes publish/subscribe, data push, remote shared objects and streaming). WebORB for Java 4.1 also includes a very powerful code generator which can create a C# remoting library as well as a complete WP7 Visual Studio project with sample UI. View Documentation>

Grails integration â WebORB distribution now includes a Grails plugin which brings all of the WebORB functionality for Grails applications. Supported features include client-server remoting for all supported client types Flex, Flash, Silverlight, JavaScript, native Java and .NET), data management, messaging and media streaming. Note: The Android, WP7 and Grails integration is available in both Enterprise Edition and Community Edition. View Documentation>

WebORB iOS Support

We've had many questions about WebORB's support for iOS. While WebORB does not natively support Objective C at the moment, currently WebORB for .NET, WebORB for Java AND WebORB for PHP support AIR running on iOS. We are also working on adding remoting and data messaging integration with WebORB for native iOS applications.
